Having grub as a bootloader would also make dual booting situations easier.
I am looking forward to this. I've already been utilizing beadm so having
the option in the bootloader will be awesome. I wonder if that might also
be a step towards booting with native efi as well as grub has a package for
efi for mac's etc?
I'm glad to see PCBSD continuing to add cutting edge features offered in no
other distro. Also getting rid of i386 support makes sense. I am looking
forward to that also. I get really burnt out every time I want to update
pkgdemon because I have to compile and test i386 as well. :)
Great to see as usual the next PCBSD release is going to full of killer new
features.
